Contest Entry- Shelley Watters 1st Page

Contest are fun. We meet experienced and driven writers, we make friends, and we get a chance to improve little tidbits of our work. Yay!!!
This week, I've chosen to participate in Shelley Watters' contest. It is only open to YA, Middle Grade, memoir, pop-culture non-fiction, and women’s commercial fiction.

So here's how the contest works:

1. Be sure your work fits into one of the genres listed above.
2. Sign up on her site here.
3. On June 25th, (today) post your title, genre, word count and the first 250 words on your blog for critique.
4. From June 25th through June 26th, hop around to the other contestant's blogs and critique their first 250 words.
5. On June 27th post your final entry on Shelley's blog post. Be sure to include:
   1. Your email address
   2. Title, genre, wordcount
   3. Your polished first page (250 words). Don't stop in the middle of a sentence.
   4. Where you follow me
   5. Where you spread the word

Agent Victoria Marini will read ALL entries and select one for a full request (which will include at least a partial critique). She will also request partials for the runners up! -- YAY!


Good luck everyone and thanks for the help.

Shhh.... I'm On a Writing Binge

You can stay for a visit, but I'm not here.

You can check out how cool I am though, over at Richard's blog, writing and living.

Oh yeah, do it, you won't regret it. What a guy! I can't believe all the nice things he said about me.

I'm in the middle of a writing binge, working on a draft called Soulmates of Freedom. Sounds cool eh? It is. I broke out of my box on this one and tried something that has been teasing my nights for a year. I really don't need any more drafts kicking around, but once I get into it, really, I just have to go with it until there's nothing left to say.

Come back on the weekend to meet Louann Carroll. I should be in recovery mode by then. Man, that's gonna be a rush to have a sci-fi writer on my blog! WHHOOOO HOOO!!

I have another task for you while I get blitzed on writing; you can enter Shelley Watters' contest. It's open to YA, Middle Grade, memoir, pop-culture non-fiction, and women’s commercial fiction. Go check it out.

Have fun writing, I will!!!
